Unusualy nice fly.
By the way I spend an hour near this camels looking for camel-attracted flies and found nothing interesting. But, today morning Dima found this male near camels, as he told me, Tabanus looked semialive.

In the light of your other tabanid http://www.dipter...post_15888, I'm withdrawing my suggestion of glaucopis - the colour of the hairs on the palpi, cheeks and thorax don't fit the description in Chvala et al. I think this is the male of the beast that fed on Dima this morning (probably T. fraseri). I expect it has been described by now, but wasn't when The Horseflies of Europe was published in 1972.

Well, it is clearly in the glaucopis-group, though it seems to be too slender for glaucopis itself.
My guess would be T. obsolescens, which has been recorded already from Turkey (Chvala et al. 1972 are understandably not up to date on this).
